CONCORD, N.H. —

Some Concord residents were dealing with flooded basements and flooded cars after heavy rain moved in overnight Sunday.

"I got a new washing machine, but that's probably no good now, because the motor's underwater," he said. "I got a couple of TVs that are underwater. My vacuum cleaner was floating around. A lot of clothes, pictures, books, my winter clothes, kids' winter clothes were all down here, and they were all floating in the water."

Resident Jamie Callahan described the rain as torrential.

"We heard the rain this morning, and my girlfriend got up and she shut the windows, and two minutes after that, my neighbor knocked on the door and told me to move my car," he said.

Callahan said he was lucky he got his car moved in time. Resident Jeremy Hardy wasn't.

"I think the water just went up through the muffler and into the engine when I went to back out at 3:30 this morning," he said.

He said that all he can do now is wait for the sun to come out.

Southern New Hampshire has been dealing with extreme drought conditions this year, so the rain was needed. Among the hardest hit have been the state's farmers. Robert Larocque of Cartier Hill Orchard said the rain could be some help.

"At this time of year, everything is just sucking in nutrients to get through the winter, so it will help for next year, putting water in there," he said.

And there still could be some benefit for this year.

"It will probably help with keeping the apples on the trees for the next three or four weeks, which is what we want," he said.

Larocque said that he was able to irrigate his pumpkin and squash crops, so those are in good shape for the fall, but he said that in the spring, he and his workers might dig a larger irrigation pond.
